Maarten Baas Melting Collection Ice Bucket

La Maison Ruinart, the oldest established champagne house in the world, celebrated the 50th anniversary of its 1959 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs in 2009 and decided to honor the occasion by commissioning a work of champagne-related art from Dutch artist Maarten Baas. The Melting Collection Ice Bucket is what resulted, a beautiful shining silver bucket and its lid dissolving helplessly into a puddle on the table. Only 50 will be produced, delivered in a felt-lined leather and wood presentation box complete with a 'made-for-display' water-filled Dom Ruinart bottle. $8,800
